| Celebrities Bail Out Rioters In Virtueless Virtue Signaling |
| 2020-06-02 |
| [Federalist] Hollywood celebrities love to virtue signal, and even in a world gone mad, Hollywood remains no different. After engaging in pointless passive progressivism for years featuring corporate wokesters slipping in the occasional lesbian kiss scene here and there to celebrate themselves as champions of cultural acceptance, Hollywood elites are now actively encouraging the destruction of the nation’s burning cities. Last week, a series of prominent American movie stars declared they would be donating to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a non-profit organizing cash bail payments for Minneapolis protestors arrested amid the carnage of the restless riots. The fund has now drawn the support of the Sadfie brothers, a pair of movie critically-acclaimed movie directors whose work includes the production of the Uncut Gems in 2019. Other Hollywood figures to pledge donations to the fund include Seth Rogan, Steve Carell, and Ben Schwartz among others. |

| #14 Chris I was being sarcastic. I know the "protesters" are not white supremacists or Trump supporters but that's what some journalists are claiming. |

| #13 Everytime these celebs are mentioned someone shuold include the aside (noted supporter of white supremacists). Even if the agitators aren't white supremacists that is what they were reporting when the Hollywood folks made their donations. |

| #10 #6, chris, yes but Minnesota Democrats say ‘White Supremacists’, ie. Trump supporters instigated the riots. So, I'm confused. Why would the Hollywood types to bail them out? |

| #9 I agree, Raj. However, last night in Dallas, lots were arrested for violating curfew, after being warned several times, and being trapped on a iconic bridge. [shrugs] |

| #8 Even this article makes the same 'mistake' - If 'protestors' aren't doing anything wrong, why were they arrested? Just call them rioters & looters like they should be and dispose of the PC bullshit. |

| #7 Someone should ask the celebrities how they can be sure their money isn't being used to bail out violent rioters? Or do they just write a check, virtue signal, and not care about the results... The list of actors I will no longer support grows. Sad to see Steve Carell added to the list but Space Force was garbage anyway. |

| #6 @deacon, most Trump supporters know how to act right. Hence they don't need celebrities to bail them out. |

| #5 Ref #4:. Yes, harvest as much social network and biometric data as possible along with their DNA. Tell them to have a nice f'day. |

| #4 Bailed, but presumably only they’ve been processed — fingerprints, etc, and cell phone contacts copied, starting the fed-level process of tracking contacts, networks, and nodes. |

| #3 Perhaps republicans should insist on proper accounting and new taxes on hollywood. |

| #2 Imagine that, "celebrities" bailing out right wing white supremacist Trump supporters. |

| #1 Perhaps acts of terrorism and sedition should have no bail. |
